    Folding outer door skin lip

    Fit about 5" of a new outer skin onto the bottom of one of my doors tonight. Any tips or tricks on how to fold the lip on the sides and bottom without damaging or bend things all out of shape? What have you used or how have you done it?

    Hey all, going to order a Dura Block 7 piece set and am seeing there are two options, sticky back and hook and loop. Benefits or drawbacks on either?

    Lower control arm bushing sleeve install

    Thought I would post a picture of how I pressed in my lower control arm bushing sleeves in with my ball joint tool. Turns out the old nuts off the ends of the shafts make nice spacers.

    Energy Suspension bushing size

    Found the bushings I need. Kit #3.2126 is the 1-3/8" bushings for the hangers. I took utility knife and trimmed the bushings I had and put them in so I could get the flip kit and rear diff fit in tonight and wouldn't have to wait for the correct kit to arrive. Learned something new, the...

    Energy Suspension bushing size

    Turns out the master kit is generic and there is a different kit available for 1-3/8" shackle eyes, which I have.

    Energy Suspension bushing size

    Anyone installed these bushings on the rear leaf springs and hangers? The kit I bought (#3.18108G) listed all the bushings as the same size but the rear leaf shackle eye size is smaller and the bushing won't even start into the hole. All bushings share the same part number and that looks to be...

    Removing overload.

    Getting ready to paint my rear leaf springs on my '82 c10. I am doing a 3/5 drop with a flip kit in the rear. I wanted to clean up the look of the spring pack. I have the 4+1 springs, would removing the overload change ride height? Do not want it any lower than what I get from the flip kit and...

    Metal prep for frame

    So, ended up getting a different frame as the one with the surface rust issue was bent. I had the repalcement blasted and just finished painting it. Blew all the left over sand residue off, degreased with brake clean, blew off again, primed and two top coats with Endura products.

    There is a store called the Bolt Supply House where I live. It has open stock on virtually every bolt / screw type fastener your could ever want. I will check them out.

    Are the new bolts available as kits or do you just make a list and head off the the local bolt supply and buy new grade 8 hardware to match the old?

    Order of operations.

    Sending out my frame and separated front running gear to get blasted on Friday. Trying to figure out when to paint, assemble, put bushings in etc. My plan was to paint all parts, put bushings in and reassemble. Sounds simple enough but then my OCD starts talking. If I do it in this order, do...
